It’s no secret that the Tampa Bay Lightning have salary cap issues. With a firm start to the season of January 13th now set, the clock is ticking for General Manager Julien BriseBois to find some answers. Earlier this fall, he tried to find a trade for Tyler Johnson. He even placed him on waivers, allowing any team to take him for free and no one took him.
One of the rumors that has been making the rounds of late on Twitter is that the Lightning are exploring a trade with the Detroit Red Wings, sending Tyler Johnson in return for Henrik Zetterberg’s contract.
